Talend Open Studio is distributed under GPLv2 and was launched in October 2006[4]. In January 2008, it had been downloaded over 1 million times. In July 2009, the product totaled 5 million downloads and over 300,000 users.
Talend also provides Talend Integration Suite, a commercial extension to Talend Open Studio with additional features, technical support and IP indemnification.
Talend Open Studio operates as a code generator allowing data transformation scripts and underlying programs to be generated either in Java (since v2.0) or Perl (since v1.0). Its GUI is made of a metadata repository and a graphical designer. The metadata repository contains the definitions and configuration for each job - but not the actual data being transformed or moved. The information in the metadata repository is used by all of the components of Talend Open Studio.
The product is based on Eclipse RCP. Most of its contributors work for commercial open source vendor Talend.
Individual jobs are designed using graphical components [5], of which over 400 are available, for transformation, connectivity, or other operations. The jobs created can be executed from within the studio or as standalone scripts.
